Job Description:
At Tesco, we see the value in you – and right now we are hiring Customer Delivery Drivers to join our team.
Our core purpose is to serve Irish shoppers a little better every day and being a Customer Delivery Driver means you are the first face our customers see.
Being a Customer Delivery Driver is hands-on, physical, and full of variety. No two shifts are ever the same – customers look for help in all kinds of different ways.
For most of the day you’ll feel like your own boss, delivering to your customers but with a team of managers and colleagues back at base ready to support you when you need them.
Shift Pattern: Various shifts available.
You will be responsible for:
1. Providing an excellent home shopping experience by putting our customers at the heart of everything we do.
2. Loading the van where required and checking your van for roadworthiness.
3. Understanding the schedule and route that has been calculated for you.
4. Looking the part in your uniform, ready to help our customers.
5. Driving safely, responsibly, and within the law.
6. Being courteous to all road users.
7. Serving your customer with a smile and greeting them by name.
8. Taking care of your customer’s deliveries as if they were your own.
You will need:
1. A full Irish or EU driving licence (manual or automatic) for at least 2 years with no more than 3 penalty points.
2. To be a safe and courteous driver.
3. To enjoy helping others.
4. To be personable with a good sense of humour and excellent communication skills.
5. The ability to take the initiative and use common sense.
6. To care about making a difference for customers and colleagues.
7. The ability to stay calm under pressure.
Please be aware that as part of our recruitment process, job offers are subject to the Garda Vetting Process and you will need to provide proof of current penalty points on your licence at Assessment Stage. This can be requested from the National Driver Licence Services (NDLS) on 1890 41 61 41. Press Option 4 and quote your driver number.
We are sorry but if you have been disqualified from driving within the last 10 years, we will not be able to accept your application.
Should you be successful in your application, your offer will be subject to and conditional upon you providing your bank account details before your agreed start date.
What's in it for you:
We offer excellent benefits that help make Tesco a great place to work. These include but aren’t limited to:
1. A variety of shifts.
2. Part-time and full-time contracts available between 20 - 39 hours a week.
3. An hourly rate of pay for new drivers of €17.19 per hour with additional premium for Sunday working.
4. Annual Bonus Scheme.
5. Colleague Clubcard 10% discount increasing to 15% starting on the last Friday of each month for 3 days (including a 2nd card for a family member).
6. Our Virtual GP service provides free and confidential access to an online GP through video GP consultations, and online prescription service for colleagues. The service is also available to families of colleagues who live at the same address for a reduced cost.
7. 24/7 access to our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for you and family members for emotional support along with free access to a range of wellbeing services.
